Correct answer
Explanation
The adrenal glands produce hormones like aldosterone that regulate salt and water balance in the body. The pancreas secretes insulin and glucagon to control blood sugar levels. Parathyroid glands secrete PTH (parathyroid hormone) which regulates blood calcium levels. The pituitary gland produces growth hormone (GH) among other hormones that control growth and development.
